The first record describes cooperation documents
The Chinese embassy reports that the ministry and CCCC signed cooperation documents at the February 2025 ceremony. Its account describes the relationship and the port’s role in Kuwait’s trade plans. The later announcement identifies the specific engineering, procurement and construction package. Source 1 Source 2
The December ceremony identifies the first-phase contract
The 22 December event involved the public works ministry and CCCC and concerned Phase I. The State Council Information Office identifies the project as being on Boubyan Island in Jahra Governorate. The signing establishes the contract milestone, with construction progress requiring a separate report. Source 2 Source 4
The stock exchange filing gives the contract value
CCCC’s April 2026 operating announcement lists the Phase I EPC project among major water transport contracts and gives CNY 28,430 million. The document is the contractor’s first-quarter operating disclosure. The timeline preserves the earlier signing date from the embassy and the later disclosure date from the exchange filing.

The package value covers more than on-site work
An engineering, procurement and construction package combines design, purchasing and construction obligations. The cited documents identify the contract amount and phase but do not provide a breakdown of payments by milestone or confirm throughput. Those measures need port operating or construction reports.
